FE Analysis on Contact During the Meshing Process of Heavy-load Marine Helical Gears

Zhou Jian-hui

Abstract

A 3-D nonlinear contact analysis model with several teeth pairs in meshing which is used to simulate a pair of helical gear in the ship reducer was established by using 3D modeling software UG and FEA software ANSYS.The parameters,such as deformation,von Mises stress,tooth root bending stress,tooth surface contact stress and so on were analyzed by contact simulation during engagement process.Compared with the result of Hertz theory,the finite element method is more accurate and could deal with the complexity of the boundary condition.The finite element method provides a reliable tool of analysis for the design of the helical gears.
